COMMENTS: The difference between a good & a great aerobatic performer is its
            slow speed handling and ease and predictability in flight.  This
            kit is truly a GREAT performer -- it can be a newer modelers second
            low wing aircraft, or a seasoned competitor's competition airplane.
          FLIGHT PROVEN DIHEDRAL SHOULD NOT BE MODIFIED.
          The designer sent an additional note with the kit specifically to
            to explain "The designer wishes to assure you that the specified
            dihedral is correct. Although somewhat out-of-scale, this dihedral
            angle is required to eliminate roll ocupling, thus providing you
            with a more neutral airplane.
          CG should be placed at 3-3/4" behind leading edge of wing, as
            indicated in the text in the manual.  Mark on original plans
            was incorrect.
